Altova XMLSpy®, the market leading XML editor, is a powerful tool for visualizing, developing, generating, converting, and validating XML Schema. Its intuitive XML Schema editor allows you to create advanced data models in a graphical manner so that you can focus on the semantics of the schema, leaving the complexities of XML Schema syntax to XMLSpy.
- Altova MapForce® provides powerful functionality for visually converting data between any combination of XML, databases, flat files, EDI, Excel 2007, XBRL, and/or Web services. XML data structures are based on XML Schema or an autogenerated XML instance file. Data mappings can be used for one-time transformations, or MapForce can automate recurrent conversions through code generation in Java, C++, or C# - or via the command line.
